Volunteers make an enormous difference in their communities and many organisations would not be able to achieve or carry out the work they do without them. As a volunteer coordinator you play a key role in making the most of volunteering opportunities and supporting those who give up their time to help others.
Join your colleagues from across a wide range of local groups and organisations at the RVA Volunteer Co-ordinators Forum to explore together how we can continue to build a thriving volunteering culture in Rother.
As this will follow the Rother Community Network event (also held at Battle Memorial Hall), please stay and join us for refreshments before the Co-ordinators Forum at 13.45pm.
